← ScienceWhich potential outcome limits deuterium-tritium fusion reactor scalability?
A)Neutron activation exceeding material limits✓
B)Helium accumulation quenching plasma
C)Alpha particle confinement degradation
D)Bremsstrahlung radiation energy loss
💡 Explanation
Neutron activation creates radioactive isotopes, weakening the reactor walls, because high-energy neutrons bombard the structure leading to transmutation. Therefore, material damage determines power output, rather than plasma instabilities, different fuel mixes, or energy losses.
